A ghost story?

Aldaco’s at Sunset Station, 100 Hoefgen, has long been a popular hangout for those who enjoy Mexican food and a good margarita. But is a ghost also hanging out there?

It depends on whom you ask.

Albert Jimenez, one of the shift leaders, says there are times when it feels “like there’s a ghost in the back room.”

He’ll be back there at the end of a shift when he’ll notice the swinging doors swinging by themselves. Or he’ll see shadows and there’s no one there. Then there are the times when the temperature in the back room drops suddenly even after the air conditioner has been turned off.

“I get chills,” he says. “Then there are the times where it feels like there’s somebody bumping into us and nobody’s there.”

Jimenez isn’t the only one on staff who has faced these unexplained events. Henry the bartender has had a couple of encounters with something he couldn’t reason away.

And no one knows when such a meeting will take place in the future, though Halloween is as good a time as any, right?

One person who hasn’t seen the ghost is owner Blanca Aldaco. But with her outgoing personality, she’d probably make a friend of the ghost if there were an encounter.
